There is this concept I have been thinking about for quite some time now, and this weekend I got around to kicking off its development. There are additional things I want to implement for it, but in its current form it is probably ok to publicize. So here’s the idea: People make promises constantly. “I’ll fix this for you”; “Sure, I’ll review your work”; “I’ll take you on a holiday”; you get the drill. People are judged by how good they are keeping their promises. Abiding to your promises is, in real life, one of the main reasons why others respect you.

Another thing happening in real life is that this respect is communicated in private conversations. But what would happen if people were able to advertise an index of their capability to hold on their promises? Would this be of value to their peers? This site is an experiment to figure out such questions, using Facebook as a platform.

Feel free to give it a try at promees.es and get back to me with thoughts/comments you may have (keeping in mind that it was built in 3 days or so, so dont’ be harsh!).
